Town Hall Event - Where's Eli?
2025-03-19 19:00 - 20:00 | AZ
Congress isn’t listening, and it’s time to make them feel the pressure. Show up to protest and demand that Congressman Eli Crane:

Hold public Town Halls to hear from his constituents—because he works for US, not billionaires.

Haul Elon Musk in front of a Congressional committee to hold him accountable for DOGE’s indiscriminate chainsaw tactics.

Vote NO on any budget that raids Medicaid.

Fight back against the Trump-Musk 4.5 trillion dollar billionaire tax giveaway.

After the March Indivisible will invite Eli Crane to join us for a Town Hall in Cottonwood. If he doesn’t attend, we will host the Town Hall without him and publicize the concerns and questions that are going unanswered. Please attend and have your voice heard!!! Click HERE to register.

"Don't Watch" Party - SOLD OUT!!
2025-01-20 09:00 - 14:00 | Mary D. Fisher Theater, 2030 AZ-89A suite a-3, Sedona, AZ, 86336, United States
Rather than being alone in a state of anxiety, why not spend a few hours on Inauguration Day with friends who share your values and are equally disappointed in the results of the Presidential election?
The Democrats of the Red Rocks (DORR) is offering a special Inaugural Day alternative on Monday, January 20, 2025, which is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Please join friends and neighbors for a 10am screening (followed by lunch at nearby Sedona Crepes at 12:30pm).
We will be screening Dave, starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver, a political comedy about a Presidential lookalike who is recruited to stand in for the US President at an event. The all-star cast also includes Laura Linney, Charles Grodin and Sir Ben Kingsley. The earnest and socially relevant comedy was met with both critical acclaim and popular reviews. The movie will be followed by an inspiring 7 minute showing of Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic I Have a Dream Speech delivered during the 1963 March on Washington. It has endured as one of the signature moments of the civil rights movement.
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT!!
The suggested donation for the films is $12 per person (to cover the cost of the theater rental) and will be collected at the Box Office. Cash is preferred and appreciated. Pay for your own lunch at the restaurant.
RSVP by clicking HERE below to let us know if you plan to attend the movies!

The Board of Directors of Democrats of the Red Rocks is thrilled to present a conversation with Robert Hubbell, one of the most esteemed voices in the progressive world. His Today’s Edition Newsletter on Substack has been a consistent voice of sanity and encouragement in a world full of chaos and noise. He calls it, “A reflection on today’s news through the lens of hope.”

Robert started his newsletter in 2017 to provide hope to his family after the disastrous election in 2016. Over time his family newsletter was shared with friends who became a huge community of like minded friends devoted to preserving American democracy.
Please join us for an enlightening and uplifting evening with a man who has become a hero to so many in our liberal world. His insights are wise and affirming and his optimism will help to propel us through the coming days. We will gather on Zoom.

DORR Film Club - Civil War
2024-09-27 17:00 - 18:00 | Zoom
Greeting film aficionados, Join us for our September political film club conversation. Let’s talk on zoom about Civil War, streaming on HBO Max and for rental on Amazon, on Friday, September 27 at 5:00.
Civil War, a dystopian thriller film set in the near present, focuses on a group of journalists traveling the US to report on the country’s civil war. As NY Times Manohla Dargis writes, British director Alex Garland has created a “movie that’s been workshopped in American political discourse and in mass culture, and which entered wider circulation on January 6.” Warning against extreme partisanship, Garland gives us “a thought experiment about journalist ethics” and a free independent press. Many of us have been looking forward to talking about this one. As we move towards November elections, Civil War will give us much to discuss.
Watch the film, grab something to eat and drink, and join us to for a timely discussion on politics, extreme partisanship, and speculative fiction.
DORR’s political film club is hosted by DORR member Mik Jordahl (Attorney) and Board member Frankie Riemer (Professor).

DORR Political Film Club - Zone of Interest
2024-04-26 16:30 - 17:30 | Vino di Sedona, 2575 AZ-89A, Sedona, AZ, 86336, United States
Greeting film aficionados, Join us for our next political film club conversation. Let’s meet in person, yes, in person, at Vino di Sedona to talk Zone of Interest on Friday, April 26, 4:30-5:30. The Academy Award winner for Best International Feature Film, Zone of Interest has been called a “brutal masterpiece.” Based loosely on a book by British writer Martin Amis, Zone of Interest shows the daily details of the life of a Nazi family–Rudolf Höss (played by Christian Friedel), the fictionalized S.S. commandant who for several years ran Auschwitz., his wife, Hedwig (Sandra Hüller), and their five children. In a NYTimes review, Manohla Dargis asserts, “In stressing the quotidian aspect and placid texture of the family’s life, [director Brian] Glazer emphasizes just how commonplace this world is, a mundanity that evokes what Hannah Arendt, in writing about the trial of Adolf Eichmann, one of the organizers of the Holocaust, famously called the “banality of evil.”
Watch the film ahead of time on Amazon and join us for a lively discussion.
We’re both in town and hope you can join us at Vino di Sedona on April 26. We’ll also have a guest, Bjorn Krondorfer, Director of NAU’s Martin Springer Institute, join us. DORR’s political film club is hosted by DORR member Mik Jordahl (Attorney) and Board member Frankie Riemer (Professor).

Nikki Check is a lifelong resident of Yavapai County. After studying agriculture, she began a career in the Verde Valley wine industry as a laborer and moved into vineyard management while working for Merkin Vineyards. Nikki was the founding Director of the Southwest Wine Center at Yavapai College where she established a 2-year degree program, planted a 17-acre vineyard, led the charge to turn a racquetball court into a 3,000 case working winery, along with teaching viticulture courses. Nikki went on to consult, helping many people design and install vineyards of their own throughout the state.
Nikki has a long history of public service and has volunteered on many boards including the Verde River Basin Partnership, the Verde Valley Wine Consortium, The Verde Valley Forum for Public Affairs, and Slow Food Prescott. She served as Mayor of Jerome before running for the state senate in 2016, a race she nearly won despite the district being predominantly Republican.
